Answer 1

You call that doctor and get your son in ASAP. This drug is usually given to children for ADD/ADHD and I suggest you read The ADD Book, it talks about better ways to deal with the issue. I think you have better options than putting pills into your child.

Answer 2

my son has been on Concerta for extra or less 6 months now.... u will see a metamorphosis in him at present..... considering u r commencing out on the backside form of it u will see a mushy replace.... the variation grow to be no longer very noticiable whilst my son grow to be on the 18 mg.... we did finally end up having to place him on the 27 mg.... the subsequent step.... the drugs has been very efficient.... i like the undeniable fact that it purely lasts 12 hours.... whilst the 12 hours is up u would be conscious ur son going returned to his regular self.... solid luck!!!
